Luv or Love?
Hello, you youthful people out there! How have you been doing?
I am in love…
o.O Excuse me?
Okay, I had this ’somebody’, who thinks that he is in love. But let me ask him, and you, and all those love-crazy people out there. How much do you know about love?
You know, when I had a conversation with that ’somebody’, I advised him about the things I am about to reveal. Sadly though, egoism brought the conversation to the end; I couldn’t finish what I had started. I tell you, that person has a set mind that had made him blind and numb to the ultimate truth.
Are you the same?
I hope not.
“ah… It was wonderful. The thought of having her in mind. The warmth, the feelings, the beauty.
I think of her each and every moment (yeah, the makan tak kenyang, mandi tak basah and the tidur tak nyenyak mode)…
Her soft hair, her lovely lips, her enchanting eyes…
Her poise, her shape, her style…
Her smile, her looks, her… uh…
the list goes on…
Then, came the bitter one. It’s still inside of me. She doesn’t know. And she doesn’t even care!
Yeah, blah blah blah. total crap.
I ask you now, have you found Love, or have you just found Lust? (And this was where he started to loose his temper)
What do you know about love? You’ve never felt like this before! YOU @#%*!!!
Ah, yes. The treat-me-like-a-naive-boy attitude arises. After all, I don’t possess any girlfriends, right? I wouldn’t know anything about love right?
WRONG.
The fact is that, I do not have the ability to woo girls using my sexiness (ouch), neither am i able to play a romantic relationship. But there is one thing i hold strong to. I will only fall for true love.
You think I have never felt like you before? You sick brat. Is it an advice that you are seeking or is it a person to show your prowess that ur seeking? And I wish to tell you, infatuation has clouded your judgments.
First of all, I need to bring you to the fine line between happiness and joy.
What defines happiness and what defines joy?
What gives a person happiness and what gives a person joy?
before the conversation ended, i gave him this hint. It is up to him to find the ultimate truth of love and live happily ever after, or to succumb to infatutation and keep changing that-person-of-interest due to hurtful times.
At first, I had this strange but practical idea in me, but I couldn’t put it in words. Only recently, when I had attended a cell group did I realise that it was the idea of joy and happiness that helped define it.
So here it goes:
- Happiness is momentary, it comes and fades as one’s feelings and hormones changes.
- joy is, literally, happily ever after. it is permanent in you. As you find joy, it changes the inside you even without ur realization.
- happiness comes from the fulfilling of your greed. When you get something you desire, you feel ecstatic, then the ‘high’ feeling goes away and you just seem to need more. Otherwise, it aches evrywhere.
- well, I’ll let you guess how joy is obtained. I’m pretty much sure that you know how it comes to you (you need not seek it, it finds you. All you have to do is open your hearts).
Well, so what comes when you are infatuated? Happiness or Joy?
What comes when you’ve found your love? Happiness or Joy?
I ask you now. Can love hurt?
Okay I’ll give you one minute to think about it first.
WARNING: do not proceed until one minute has passed, otherwise you would have successfully travelled to the past (of one minute)
Yeah, it may sound more like an opportunity than a warning, but come to think of it, you may age even in that one minute, making you die one minute earlier than your normal life span. Now we wouldn’t want such paradox to happen to us rite? Yeah right.
I pretty much believe, one minute has passed after reading the passage above (gotcha!). Okay, back to the topic. Have you thought of the answer yet?
Yes, love doesnt hurt. Love is a godly quality, but sadly, people (yes, ‘people’) mixes infatuation with love. When you’ve found love, joy comes to you. When you are infatuated, you’ll be happy (and only while your hormone lasts).
In love, you don’t think of beauty, but you think of completeness. When in love, you don’t treat things as hurting, neither will you tolerate, but you’ll just continue to love. You do not think of anything bad in love, you only have the grateful feeling inside of you. And definitely, there wont be a list of good and wrong.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. Love never fails.
I do not need to act in love, but I love my true love. I do not savour and indulge in romance, but I will love. I do not sweet talk, I love. I do not charm, I love. I definitely to not dress to ‘kill’ - I just need to love. I do not need money to have love, it is already in me. And it completes me. Yes, love never fails.
If there’s anything you do, please remember. Is that love? for without love, everything fails - it has no meaning. there’s no joy, only momentary happiness.
And how to know if you have found your love?
You’ll know. It won’t be like the usual attraction you feel all the time. Instead of that feeling, you’ll only get completeness.
Yes, no matter how much i say, it cannot paint as many words as a picture can. And even though I paint as many pictures that I can, it is never enough to picture the fullness of love.
And oh yes. Don’t get infatuated. To the dating girls out there, if a guy asks to have sexual intercourse, do not fall for him no matter how attracted you are to him. Through there, God has granted you a hint that he had done so much just for one thing - the sex that a typical teenage boy wants.
And remember. I am not experienced in wooing girls, neither do I have good “tatse” that attracts the majority, but I do have a good stand on True Love. That’s how I stayed ahead; I did not allow infatuation to cloud my dream - that I need to keep my path clear so that when true love comes, my eyes are open; and it is not blinded by the earlier emotions.
Have a nice day you youths out there 
“True love exists, but we tend to think in real life there isn’t such a thing; it is just a need to fill our desire. I tell you, that is the thought that had made your knees tremble before the devil, and you became irresistible to lust.”
True love esists, and I am one of the person out there that still holds on to it. Are you one of them? Please do give me some support. God bless =)
